Displaying upcoming releases from a project in Confluence

[Dave Curtis]

Hi, is it still not possible to automatically display a list of upcoming releases in a Confluence page?

I've done a lot of checking communities and various products but they all seem to require manual work, or rely on defunct macros etc. We just want to list upcoming Fix Versions, it doesn't seem like a massively difficult task, or it seems like it shouldn't be...!

Thanks

Hi @Dave Curtis 👋🏻

First of all, welcome to the community! ✨

To answer your question

Hi, is it still not possible to automatically display a list of upcoming releases in a Confluence page?

yes there is an easy way you can use Jira Legacy macro 

• create a filter from your release like this "project = 10105 AND fixVersion = 142952 ORDER BY created ASC"
• you can get this filter on the release details page by clicking "View In Issue Navigator"
• then you get the filter string to copy and paste in your confluence document as Jira Legacy macro.

OR

You can do the same using Jira work items macro,

• you can also choose the fields (as shown in the below picture --> on the right) you would like to get them displayed in Confluence

This is how it looks in Confluence when you choose either of the macros.

Hope this helps and answers your question! 😊

Thanks,

I thought I was pretty clear, I want a way of displaying an automated list of upcoming releases in a project. I understand that getting a list of of issues within a release is easy.

E.g.:

Project = x AND fixVersion = unreleased

Some sort of useful list....

2. Customize Your Pages: Navigate to your Confluence page and paste the link — it will automatically embed the dashboard or gadget. Then, tailor your page to suit your needs. Haven't explored Confluence yet? Now's the perfect time! Try it for free today.
